Tourists snorkel around coral reefs in the Red Sea, just off the shores of Hurghada, in Egypt. Coral is in serious decline in these waters, having fallen by 30% over the last thirty years, according to NASA photography. Hurghada airport has recently completed an expansion, which also raises environmental concerns.
